CMeaning
DVocabulary
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Spelling
1. NCERT recommends a modified phonic approach for beginning literacy.
2. It uses rhyming letter chunks, as in cat, rat, mat.
3. This significantly reduces the arbitrariness of English spelling.
4. Grammar, meaning and stress are not what the chunks address.
**Why not the others:** Grammar, meaning and stress are not the target of rhyming letter chunks.
